efi: Add proper definitions for some EFI function pointers.

2013-09-25T11:34:33+00:00

The x86/AMD64 EFI stubs must use a call wrapper to convert between
the Linux and EFI ABIs, so void pointers are sufficient.  For ARM,
the ABIs are compatible, so we can directly invoke the function
pointers.  The functions that are used by the ARM stub are updated
to match the EFI definitions.
Also add some EFI types used by EFI functions.

efi: x86: make efi_lookup_mapped_addr() a common function

2013-09-05T12:29:29+00:00

efi_lookup_mapped_addr() is a handy utility for other platforms than
x86. Move it from arch/x86 to drivers/firmware. Add memmap pointer
to global efi structure, and initialise it on x86.

efi: x86: ia64: provide a generic efi_config_init()

2013-09-05T12:29:29+00:00

Common to (U)EFI support on all platforms is the global "efi" data
structure, and the code that parses the System Table to locate
addresses to populate that structure with.

This patch adds both of these to the global EFI driver code and
removes the local definition of the global "efi" data structure from
the x86 and ia64 code.

Squashed into one big patch to avoid breaking bisection.

Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2013-07-06T21:09:38+00:00

Pull timer core updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The timer changes contain:

   - posix timer code consolidation and fixes for odd corner cases

   - sched_clock implementation moved from ARM to core code to avoid
     duplication by other architectures

   - alarm timer updates

   - clocksource and clockevents unregistration facilities

   - clocksource/events support for new hardware

   - precise nanoseconds RTC readout (Xen feature)

   - generic support for Xen suspend/resume oddities

   - the usual lot of fixes and cleanups all over the place

  The parts which touch other areas (ARM/XEN) have been coordinated with
  the relevant maintainers.  Though this results in an handful of
  trivial to solve merge conflicts, which we preferred over nasty cross
  tree merge dependencies.

  The patches which have been committed in the last few days are bug
  fixes plus the posix timer lot.  The latter was in akpms queue and
  next for quite some time; they just got forgotten and Frederic
  collected them last minute."

x86: Increase precision of x86_platform.get/set_wallclock()

2013-05-28T21:00:59+00:00

All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent
wallclocks that have more than one second of precision.

read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow
for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with
x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision.
This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1
second.

Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec
parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen
guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0
can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.

efi, pstore: Read data from variable store before memcpy()

2013-04-30T15:03:10+00:00

Seiji reported getting empty dmesg-* files, because the data was never
actually read in efi_pstore_read_func(), and so the memcpy() was copying
garbage data.

This patch necessitated adding __efivar_entry_get() which is callable
between efivar_entry_iter_{begin,end}(). We can also delete
__efivar_entry_size() because efi_pstore_read_func() was the only
caller.

efi: split efisubsystem from efivars

2013-04-17T12:27:06+00:00

This registers /sys/firmware/efi/{,systab,efivars/} whenever EFI is enabled
and the system is booted with EFI.

This allows
 *) userspace to check for the existence of /sys/firmware/efi as a way
    to determine whether or it is running on an EFI system.
 *) 'mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars' without manually
    loading any modules.

[ Also, move the efivar API into vars.c and unconditionally compile it.
  This allows us to move efivars.c, which now only contains the sysfs
  variable code, into the firmware/efi directory. Note that the efivars.c
  filename is kept to maintain backwards compatability with the old
  efivars.ko module. With this patch it is now possible for efivarfs
  to be built without CONFIG_EFI_VARS - Matt ]

efivars: Move pstore code into the new EFI directory

2013-04-17T12:24:01+00:00

efivars.c has grown far too large and needs to be divided up. Create a
new directory and move the persistence storage code to efi-pstore.c now
that it uses the new efivar API. This helps us to greatly reduce the
size of efivars.c and paves the way for moving other code out of
efivars.c.

Note that because CONFIG_EFI_VARS can be built as a module efi-pstore
must also include support for building as a module.
